SCENARIO 3

''SECURITY FIRST''

Socio- Political Hypotheses

Social Relations:

In 2014 people were talking about an earthquake which will be expected to happen in recent times... In 2044, this earthquake happened around Izmir. Because of earthquake, many people died and many people lost their relatives.Therefore, sensitivity and helping between humans become more important. After this earthquake, many supports come around the world, around Turkey even from the people who did not effect from the earthquake in Izmir.

Economic System:
Turkey’s all external and internal debts are paid off. Turkey gain its economic independence and welfare level increased. Turkey started discourage importation and support home made production which are technological, agricultural etc..

 But, In Izmir after earthquake, most people lost their properties and it causes socio-economic class differences.


Political Order:
In Turkey, capitalist regime is dominant.

In 2014, because of having a lot of external depts , Turkey sold out many health, education and secure utilities. In 2054, Turkey take back all sold out utilities and incorporate them. So, health, education and secure are not paid anymore. 


Population Size and Structure:

General situation in Turkey, population continue to increase regularly. Young population increased.
In Izmir, because of earthquake population highly decreased. Amount of squaremeter per person is increased.Normally, around the country, annual population growth is nearly 0.012, but in Izmir because of earthquake, ratios changed. The percentage of the death is 40.

Work Methods:

People who didn’t lost their properties (are also the owners of this site) offers a house from site and minimum wage to other people in return for working at urban farming. Income of urban farming is employer’s.
Government support citizens in any case who wants to open a new bussiness.

Environmental Hypotheses



Climate Regime:



Global warming causes global average temperatures change which around risen by 4°C. Because of this climate changing, growinf vegetables also changed.


Air Pollution:


In Turkey, because of increased air pollution ratio in 2054, Electricity or sustainable fuel usage at transportation vehicles become mandatory. At the same time, spreading usage of biogas and natural gases help reducing air pollution.
After earthquake, many residential areas collapsed and at the same time, population decreased, so that many residential areas are not necessary anymore. Therefore, some places which existed as a building area, turn to forest and green areas.


Water Availability:


Because of global warming, Most amount of poles will be melt and sea evel will increase about 20 cm, but quantity of water decreased, because of low rain water average.

For increasing usable water quantity, amount of dams will be increased. In 2014, Turkey has 503 dams. 
In 2054, it will be nearly 610 dams. 
 


Waste and Sewage Treatment:


Because of the low rain water average, rain water collection is getting important day by day. Water conservation is mandatory for every residential. Collected water into conservation system will be used for farming and indoor household.

Flora and Fauna Status:

Turkey shows a notable diversity of habitats, with significant variations in altitude, wainfall, temperature, topography and geological history, which reflected in its richness of animal and plant life.

Turkey is divided to 7 geographic regions. Mediterranean region is the most important area in terms of richness of endemic plants. East anatolia region has also a rich diversity of species and ranked secondly in terms of endemism rate.
